Yes, because sending large binary attachments would be so much easier
then.
And think of the joy of how this would interface with the massive
deployment of perfectly functioning SMTP servers. It'd be so easy to
say "Look, throw away your binary-capable fault-tolerant network, and
replace it with our non-equivalent XML-based system, and will choke
if a server is unavailable for more than a minute!".
I can see people rushing to our doors now. And they're wearing such
